Different Noises
The four walls were closing in on me. I struggled to breathe…
OK, maybe not. Read the rest of this entry
Takeaways from #jhmc2012
As I mentioned in my last post, I haven’t yet written about my experiences a couple of weekends ago at the Men’s Conference at First Baptist Church Woodstock. I intentionally wanted to take some time to soak in everything from the trip.
Rather than write out a detailed play-by-play, I’ve decided to bullet some points, quotes, thoughts, and memories… Read the rest of this entry
Fingerprints in Clay

Tony and I love Wallace and Gromit.
For those that don’t know, Wallace and Gromit is a series of clay stop motion shorts by Nick Park featuring an inventive, oblivious lover of cheese (Wallace) and his attentive and resourceful dog (and Tony is my son).
We were watching their latest adventure, The Loaf of Death, on Netflix the other day. The animation is so compelling that you quickly forget that the characters are made of clay. Read the rest of this entry
Did I Really Want to Go to Elephant Room 2?
A few days ago, I tweeted an entry for a contest to see Elephant Room 2…

#2 Post of 2011… Albert Pujols, Beats by Dr. Dre, and Christmas
The other day, Jamy and I were out Christmas shopping at Best Buy. They had a big sign for Beats by Dr. Dre headphones. I know a lot of celebrities and musicians that swear by them, but I’m just not willing to pay all that money for headphones with a rapper from the 90′s on the label. Not worth the money, in my opinion.
In other news, Albert Pujols recently took some flack from a few baseball fans for taking a pay raise and moving to California to get it. I have never known anyone who would turn down a substantial pay raise in their profession, but that’s just me.
What’s the point, Jon? Glad you asked. Read the rest of this entry
#4 Post of 2011… Write a Letter
Monday nights are outreach nights at FBC-FH.
We invite our church family to meet at the church, pair up, and hit the pavement to welcome our guests and prospective attenders.
Some are unable to do this, so we also write letters to those whom have just moved into the area. Our volunteers write these letters by hand, and our office staff inserts a church brochure which includes the plan of salvation.
A few days ago, we received a letter. Read the rest of this entry

Psalm 26
My quiet time this morning included Psalm 26. It really spoke to me.
I would encourage you to read through it slowly. Pray it aloud to God. Acknowledge to Him your failings, as I did. Take solace in His grace. Be encouraged… Read the rest of this entry
Praying for Others
Therefore, confess your sins to one another and pray for one another, that you may be healed. The prayer of a righteous person has great power as it is working. -James 5:16
Do you pray enough? I’m sure that I don’t. Read the rest of this entry
